TAIL-WAGGING COW STARVES TO DEATH

been missing a week. He found her body beside a tree. “Bossy” had swished her tail so vigorously around a tree that it had become knotted. Chained to the tree by her tail, “Bossy” died of starvation and thirst.

Naturally, they're cooler and mellower, with a better taste. Believe me, I always recommend Camels to my friends.” “Besides,” Bob comes back, “I get a lot more actual smoking from a Camel, and it’s got the kind of tobacco that puts the real pleasure into smoking.”
